Liverpool Irish Festival family day

Join us for our annual Liverpool Irish Festival family day co-hosted with Liverpool Irish Festival. We’ll have masses of family activities to entertain and engage visitors of all ages.

The Armagh Rhymers return with their exclusive Liver Bird story. We’ll introduce visitors to Little Globy, a global ambassador for green actions. The Bolger-Cunningham Dance School will give it their all in the morning, before the George Ferguson School for Irish Dance team up with Melody Makers, to produce junior and senior dance sets. 

There will be craft workshops during the day. The opportunity to follow the museum's Irish Trail through the museum’s collections, led by volunteers from the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail.
